4. Please join me on these words. (Do you know the president) Sing again.
5. Why do you think we have money? (History)
6. Teach each ostinato pattern by rote.
Teaching Tips/Information:
1. Have the money sitting next to the students during the song. This allows them to
see each piece as it is being sung.
2. The term money, well, its hard to say exactly how old it is. When you research
the term you can find out that payment of some kind was used all the way back to
2200 B.C.! But the money that they used back then is not the same that we use
today. Early forms of money included shells, stones, beads and fur. The first coins
date back to 700 B.C. by the Lydians, a group of people that lived in what is now
Turkey. Coins then spread to Greece and Rome. But the worldwide use of paper
money and coins took a long time to occur. Even into the early days of the United
States, bartering or trading was still a popular way to exchange goods and
services. Before the early settlers won the war that created the United States there
was Spanish, English and French money used. But, in order to pay for the war, we
needed to develop one common currency for all the colonies. In fact, the famous
Paul Revere designed the first coins for the Continental Currency. After we won
the war and the new U.S. Constitution was ratified, Congress passed the Mint
Act on April 2, 1792. This established the coinage system of the United States,
and the dollar as the official U.S. currency. In 1793, the Philadelphia Mint
produced the first coins. The use of paper bills did not begin until the mid 1800s!
In 1861, when the Civil War began, the U.S. was in great need for money. So, on
July 17th, 1861, the Treasury Department was allowed to print and circulate paper
money, which was nicknamed, Greenbacks. And we have been using them ever
since! Sure, some of our currency has changed its appearance here and there, but
the concept is still the same.
